24-Hour Theatre Project

At 7pm on Sunday, August 24th, 2008, 8 playwrights will gather at the historic Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables and select a theme from which they must each write a short play to be staged, rehearsed and performed the next day — just 24 hours later! At sunrise on Monday, August 25th, their randomly distributed directors and actors arrive (armed only with copious amounts of caffeinated beverages), and spend the entire day bringing the writers’ work to life. A process that usually takes weeks! That night, at 8pm, an audience will gather to see… no idea what they’re going to see, actually!
